An absolutely fantastic day at Watatunga. Such a great place with fantastic staff and a truly inspirational ethos. Everything is about the management, care and long term health of every animal in there. Their knowledge and work to ensure the long term survival of each species is obviously a lifelong passion and that shows in every part of your day. So educational. Also had great photo opportunities. The 3 hour trip went so fast. We will definitely be coming back. Thankyou

What a great time we had visiting Watatunga. The staff are very friendly & knowledgeable, answering any questions we had. The safari itself is brilliant, going around in golf buggies whilst having a commentary over walk talkies by the guide. We luckily managed to see all of the animals when we went and were given relevant information about all the different species. You are given time to take photos & can ask any questions via the walkie talkies. All in all a fantastic experience that far exceeded our expectations.

unique experience seeing wildlife in an open setting. The staff were freindly helpful and gave great information as the tour progressed. Something really different in the UK in a great setting. Maximum enjoyment if you like wildlife you take a chasnce on what you see as the animals are free to roam the entire site but staff do home in on where thye are most likely to be and we had some close encounters which added to the enjoyment. Safety is well thought out and care taken at all time. Highly worth the visit

Thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Extremely well run site with very informative commentary during our self drive electric buggy ride. Something out of the ordinary in Norfolk. Would highly recommend for all ages. Warm welcome, small coffee shop. Very clean facilities. Will definitely visit again.

Visited with my husband and 15year old . We enjoyed having our own little buggy to ourselves & goin thro the shallow water and over a few bumps made it more exciting , the two tour guide ladies were very friendly and helpful . One gave us a lovely welcome as we stepped out the car , we both commented how nice she was . We Enjoyed what a hidden gem this place is , so picturesque , loved the wooden huts for the animals to shelter in . only thing if we had to say any comments was we stopped to look at the deer on the edge of the water for just a little too long as we all got a bit bored of what the guide said but that’s just our opinion & possibly as we live right near to Bradgate park in Leicestershire with thousands of deer . , we preferred it when we were driving along & listening to her , The buggy for us was lots of fun & bonus to see the water buffalo. Coffee shop nice touch at the end . Clean toilets and well kept area in general . Enjoyable visit .

You can never predict what wildlife will do, and driving through the reserve you need to keep en eye out. Our guide was talking a little too much for my liking, information is good, but it was constant throughout the drive, and over walkie talkies, so it wasn’t great quality. Be aware that it’s bumpy and if you have bad back, either drive at a snails pace or be prepared for a very bumpy ride. You are not allowed to use your phones whilst driving the buggy. They are doing good work here and it should be applauded and supported.

Thought this would break up a weeks break at the seaside and despite some doubting and reluctant kids in tow this ended up being the highlight of the holiday! It is a nature reserve so you can't guarantee what you'll see but we saw a very good selection of the birds, deer and wildlife in the park. The change of position in the convey also helped to ensure we got good views of everything and the guide was knowledgeable and helpful. Plus driving rhe buggy was entertainment in itself! Wonderful way to spend a few hours and a brilliant use of land in Norfolk

Had a really comfortable stay at the Gate Lodge and a brilliant time in the Reserve, so much to see and having our own buggy and unlimited use gave us the time to really appreciate the animals. The guide was extremely knowledgeable and we took lots of great photos. Staff were really helpful when we had a problem with our car, they really went the extra mile. I'm sure we will be visiting again in the future. Do go and visit it will be well worth it.

I heard about the photography tour and was looking for something different to do that week. Well worth the 2 hour drive for me, even with slightly damp weather it was a really fun trip and all the staff were so helpful. Julian was extremely knowledgeable and passed on lots of information. I would highly recommend this Wildlife Reserve as it is all about the animals and conservation.

I was hoping it was going to be special, but my expectations were exceeded, and that doesn't often happen! We had a lovely family day at Watatunga. The guide was so knowledgeable and friendly. I am sure she was saying things she says often, but she sounded as engaged and happy as if it was the first time. (I'm sorry, I forgot her name, but she said she had lived in South Africa.) We learned a lot, saw tons of beautiful animals, and were impressed by their conservation work. We'd love to return another time.
